The Asssist is a fun New Adult romance. Enroll at Valley and enjoy the eye candy or in this case aural pleasure. With a healthy dose of humility this feisty sorority girl manages to snag herself the ultimate prize...a tutor for statistics. What did you think I meant!?! LOL.

These smart jocks will have you curling your toes and bouncing in your seats. No pompoms necessary but Joel probably wouldn't mind them! Grab a stretch of the bleachers and invite your friends. You aren't going to want to miss these!

I can't wait for book 2!

4 Bless is in the House Stars!!
What happens when you make assumptions about people you don’t know? You make an ass out of yourself and that is exactly what happened to Blair, but she preserved and went back to ask for help. She would not take no for an answer and was not interested in anything else except the tutoring. I really loved that Blair made almost instant friendships with everyone she met including Wes. It’s not like she didn’t notice everyone on the basketball team was great to look at, she just had bigger priorities than dating anyone. Blair’s positive attitude is very contagious throughout the whole book, you can tell it came in handy for Gabby during her difficult times. I adored how close she was with her friends and how they stood up for each other.

Wes’s whole life is the basketball team, so it was super surprising that he was so unbelievably smart. He is so driven at being the best at everything he does, it doesn’t quite compute to anyone who doesn’t know him. I love how slow he goes with Blair that it is completely a friendship first nothing romantic. He just wants to know everything about her and learn all her quirks and insights into her life. The friendships that Wes has with his teammates and some outside of the team show’s who he is as a guy. I love that he is a stand-up guy not one to go back on his word, or talk bad about others.

I really loved this slow burn romance, these two really got to know each other well before taking it any farther. They of course have their struggles to go through before becoming closer but it’s that way with any HEA the learning to become a couple. I enjoyed the friendships in this book a lot and I cannot wait to dive into book 2.

This has been the first ever book I have read from this author, and I really loved it and enjoyed.

Blair needs help with her statistic class, because she is determined to success and get her degree diploma, but what happens when Wes, the hot basketball player, starts helping her? Blair doesn’t understand how can he have so good grades when he’s literally sleeping through that class, but spending time with him she finally gets that he’s using statistics almost every time he’s playing.

The scenes between them are full of banter, cute and sweet small moments. I loved how deep they connected and how they both had each other’s back. They are so perfect together, and I just loved them.

This book was the perfect one to make me start reading books from this author.

Basketballer, Wes, is out for an injury. He’s grumpy and focused on getting back out on the court. Blair, who is an optimist after life has handed her some curveballs, needs help in statistics. Wes makes As even though he doesn’t pay attention in class. After Blair convinces him to tutor her, they begin to develop feelings. He doesn’t want to get serious and focus on the game. He was possessive and protective although they weren’t official. I was so close to 5 stars until he began ghosting Blair and disrespecting her. He does grovel, but I think she didn’t make him work hard enough! Overall, a great college basketball romance.
